Personal Description:

After teaching English in a secondary school for 10 years, I am now devoting my time to private tutoring. I am very passionate about my subject and strive to make my subject accessible and enjoyable for each and every student.

Tutoring Experience:

I have been teaching in a secondary school since 2002 and achieved consistently good results at KS3, KS4 and KS5 (English Language). Before this, I completed a TESOL course and taught Spanish students who were visiting the UK.

From 2002, I have also tutored students for GCSE and enjoyed it immensely, ensuring students gain the grades they need and building their confidence for approaching exams.

Tutoring Approach:

-I firmly believe in personalised learning and will adapt resources and my teaching style for each student. Together we will create a teaching programme to target and address areas for improvement.
-I have always had an excellent rapport with my students, with a firm but fair approach.
-I fully understand how difficult it can be for students who are approaching exams, and can be available via e-mail in the evenings to offer extra support.

LornaFrom Lyd (5/5): (GCSE English)Lorna, you are a blessing. Anyone who can inspire and teach my son has got to be good. You have quickly built a friendly rapport with him, whilst also maintaining a professional attitude. After only a handful of lessons I feel my boy has "upped his game". Thank you for joining us on his journey. Best wishes.

LornaFrom Jennifer (5/5): (GCSE English)Lorna has helped both my sons with their GCSEs in English Language and English Literature. Her personalised support and patience has been fantastic during every session and the boys have really benefited from her outstanding knowledge of the subject and GSCE exam techniques. It has been straightforward to arrange sessions and Lorna has been great if I've needed to swap a session.
Thanks so much for your help - it has made a real difference.
